PyWhatKit is a Python library designed to automate simple but useful daily tasks such as sending WhatsApp messages, playing YouTube videos, performing Google searches, and converting text to handwriting. One of its most popular features is WhatsApp automation, which allows sending scheduled messages, images, and even group messages directly through WhatsApp Web. It’s a beginner-friendly library but powerful enough to handle many automation needs.
Installation:
pip install pywhatkit
